I've had this boat on the brokerage market for a while at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher price. Another boat and triplet boys have come into the family, so it's time to get it moved. Boat is being moved to Branford this week and should be available for viewing this weekend. Details and Pics to follow. I'm going to keep this to only CTF for a week or so till the boat gets moved. PM with interest or questions.

All routine maintenance has been completed including new water pump and temp gauge – engine runs in “like new” condition. Starboard engine was rebuilt with a new powerhead in the winter of 07’ and currently has approximately 100 hours on it. Engine is in like new condition.

Notes: This Grady 282 is the perfect “little big” boat and is fully rigged and capable of Overnight Canyon fishing with comfortable fuel range and battery power. However, it is also small enough to enjoy inshore without the maintenance costs of larger boats. She is very efficient and with a cruise speed between 30-33 mph running between 4000 and 4400 rpms. At cruise she burns at an impressive rate giving her 1.4 to 1.6 mpg for a total range of 300 plus miles at cruise. The boat is painted (Interlux Biolux) and in “ready to go” condition for spring of 11’.
Thanks for the compliment. I like your tag line...."Back to owning just one boat...."
As Bob Bradley once said "Contrary to public opinion, owning two boats is not twice as much fun as owning one".
It's two years since I sold my other boat, but the tag line still feels fresh.
It's a tough market. Check out anglers edge marine. For less than $200 the guy will list your boat on yachtworld and a dozen other sites. Worth the money (and no commission).
